Tip #201 Store a directory name to come back to
Put the following alias in your profile to store a directory name to use later on:alias sd='set \!:1=$cwd'
Example usage:
$ sd mydir ... $ cd mydir
This method works for csh but not bash. For bash try the following function in your profile:
sd(){ export $1=$PWD; }
Then:
$ sd abc ... $ cd $abc
